Many directors in Hong Kong are very busy, especially those who can sell well at the box office. In addition, the filming cycle in Hong Kong is very short, which is ten days and half a month fast, and only one or two months slow, and only one or two months slow, and three or four months slow, so it is very long, so generally not to mention actors, even directors are running around, and it is normal to shoot two or three movies a year.

However, Xu Ke is an exception, of course, the more exceptional one is his good friend Wu Yusen. After joining Qiao Feng's company, only good books will be filmed, otherwise it will take more than a year to take a break.

Although Xu Ke is a little harder, Xu Ke has also rested since filming the Ghost Story of the Chinese Girl. Not to mention his job as a director, even if he likes to be a director, he has not done it for more than a year.

On the contrary, his wife Shi Nansheng has been busy all year round, and has been staying in the United States for several months recently to cooperate with several American companies.

Then Qiao Feng saw that Xu Ke was too idle and couldn't stand it anymore, so he took two notebooks and threw them to him.

Both books are martial arts films, which is also Xu Ke’s best-known project. Although Xu Ke seems to be operating nowadays, they are all action comedies or fashion action movies, and even art films, Qiao Feng knows that this guy’s best has always been martial arts.

Qiao Feng also had his own considerations for Xu Ke to shoot the martial arts film that should have been released a few years later, because the original time and space, it was the event that the martial arts films became really popular in 1990s.

The decline of martial arts was also at that time, but the highlights of martial arts were also at that time.

At that time, there were really many classic martial arts films, but the box office of those martial arts films was not ideal. Take Zhang Min, who had been obsessed with Qiao Feng, and the leader of the Demon Sect of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber as an example. Such a classic and big-name movie, a movie that was full of big names, made movie fans wait for almost thirty years without waiting. The reason was either other things, that was, martial arts films were weak at that time.

Of course, the bigger reason was that the film market at that time was weakened, and then the most popular martial arts film at that time was in trouble.

The leader of the Demon Sect is obviously a good film and has a considerable investment. They are both the most popular stars at the time, but the box office is terrible. At that time, the investment lost a lot of money. Who would dare to invest in that level and use so many celebrities’ martial arts films?

No one dared, and he could not afford such a huge loss, so most of them waited for thirty years. It was not until then that the former director Wang Fatty Wang Jing vaguely revealed the news that he would make a sequel.

But at that time, this person was already old, and the leader Zhang Wuji was already sick and basically stopped filming. He only focused on charity. Zhou Zhiruo married a lame rich man, and Xiao Zhao also married a rich man. After many years of rest of the filming, Zhang Sanfeng could only run back and forth in a wheelchair. As for the princess Zhao Min, who everyone was obsessed with, he even retired from the filming several times and returned to the filming.

When it is obvious that the market for movies is not very good, even if the classic martial arts films are released, it cannot prevent the market from continuing to decline.

Qiao Feng felt that instead of re-enacting the trajectory of Hong Kong movies in the original time and space, it would be better to take out those good movies that did not meet the expected box office reputation because of the poor market, so that Hong Kong movies can take another step on the basis of the highest glory and prosperity. In that case, even if they are destined to decline due to market reasons, they can persist in the road to decline for a few years.

If it can support the mainland film market, then Hong Kong movies are still expected.

In recent years, Qiao Feng has invested in so many movies in Hollywood, North America, and it is for this purpose, so that Hong Kong filmmakers can look at Europe and the United States, and don’t dare to try again if they fail once.

Over the years, it still has some effect. At least both Shaw Brothers and Jiahe are different from the original time and space. Not to mention Jiahe, in addition to Cheng Long's movies, he has also begun to invest in some other European and American film projects. While actively cooperating with Qiao Feng, Shaw Brothers also invests on his own or consults some suggestions from Qiao Feng, and then invests in some film projects that Qiao Feng is optimistic about but lacks funds and needs financing.

The two largest film giants in Hong Kong are moving away, which has a great influence on Hong Kong movies and filmmakers.

There are two major stages of prosperity in Hong Kong martial arts movies, one is the martial arts era of Hu Jinquan and Zhang Che, and the other is the martial arts era of Xu Ke and Cheng Xiaodong.

Among them, the most far-reaching one is Hu Jinquan.

If Xu Ke’s change to martial arts movies is in form, then Hu Jinquan’s change to martial arts movies is in the core, artistic conception, and spiritual culture.

Hu Jinquan was born in Peking. He studied ancient Chinese at home since childhood. He loved painting and liked to watch martial arts in Chinese dramas. Later, he went to Hong Kong and made props, drawing and design artists in the early days.

In February 1953, on the New Year's Eve of the Guisi year, Feng Yi, Li Hanxiang, Jiang Guangchao, Ma Li, Shen Zhong and Song Cunshou formed brothers of the opposite sex at No. 107, Border Street, Kowloon, and was called the "Seven Leisures"

All of these people are big names, the most famous of which are Li Hanxiang, Hu Jinquan and Song Cunshou.

Li Hanxiang, Hu Jinquan and Song Cunshou both developed in Hong Kong. Later, Li Hanxiang left Shaw Brothers and formed his own League of Nations. Song Cunshou also followed him to Taiwan, and then took a photo outside the window to discover Lin Qingxia, the number one beauty in Southeast Asia.

Li Hanxiang and Song Cunshou have many styles of films, but Hu Jinquan has completely changed the pattern of martial arts movies from various styles in his early years, and then martial arts became Hu Jinquan's only symbol.

A Drunken Hero established the stable position of Hu Jinquan as a new martial arts master. Then he conceived and compiled a classic martial arts film with the original name and final name of Longmen Inn.

The hero who was filmed later won the 1975 Cannes Film Festival Technology Award, the Palme d'Or best film (nominated), the 28th Cannes Best Technology and Visual Effects Award, and the Honorary Award at the First Supernatural Film Festival at Montreal, Canada.

This is the first time that a Chinese-language film won the top prize in Cannes, many years earlier than Cheng Kaige won the Palme d'Or with Farewell My Concubine.

If we talk about its popularity in the world movies, Hu Jinquan at that time was far superior to his sworn brother Li Hanxiang.

More than a year ago, Qiao Feng wanted to take out the New Longmen Inn to shoot, but Lin Qingxia became pregnant and the female lead was pregnant, so the movie could only be temporarily put on hold.

Now, Lin Qingxia has given birth to a baby, and the child is getting older, so she doesn’t have to be with her mother at all times, so Qiao Feng is preparing to restart the shooting of Xinlongmen Inn.
